AMW Reviews: Girlstuff Nail Polish

Happy Tuesday everyone!
Yes!  Finally!  I'm back to doing something for my nails!  Well not really  nail art for now but at least I'm starting to paint my nails once again!  Ooohh the joys of having baby!  I just want to spend spare time playing with him rather than prettifying myself!  Thanks to YOU for being my dear loyal blog reader, because I'm forced to test more products thus, I'm also forced to look at least a bit GOOD!  hahaha

Let's talk about safe nail polishes!  Nail Polishes free from the BIG 3 are usually expensive, that's why I blogged about Girl Stuff Nail Polishes almost 3 years ago as they are safe yet really inexpensive!  Yes, even after 3 years, the price remain affordable!  Good job Girl Stuff!

This year, they are coming up with MORE colors/collection!  I was so happy when I passed by their SM Mall of Asia kiosk as I find their colors really exciting!

Here are 2 collections I will be adding up to my "big" polish collection!  I'm actually using more safe polishes now with Baby AMW around! 

L-R Girl Stuff Holiday Collection 2014 and Sophisticate

AMW says ---
Pros
  • All 3 polishes from the Sophisticate collection are highly pigmented, high shine and lasts a week without chipping.
  • Can be applied without base and top coat and the polish remain shiny/gel-like for a week.
  • Quick drying, 2 coats completely dry in less than 10 minutes.
  • 3 polishes from the Holiday Collection are highly pigmented, textured yet has a good shine.
  • Inexpensive
  • All Girlstuff polishes are free from Formaldehyde, Toluene and Phtalate.
  • Girlstuff polishes stayed for more than a week on my nails considering I wash often!  The part that disappears first is at the tip of each nail!
Cons
  • None.
Overall
Good quality, inexpensive polishes free from BIG 3. 

Tips
  • Store polishes in cool, dry place.
  • All Girlstuff polishes can be applied on its own without base coat and top coat.
  • If you want your polish to stay longer, choose to use your favorite base and top coat.  But make sure your base and top coat are also free form the BIG 3 :)
  • Be creative!  If you're not good at nail art, you can always apply different shades of polishes on each fingernail!  Depending on your personality.
Will I repurchase?
YES!

To whom do I recommend this to?
Young girls who are into polishes or frequent nail polish wearers who want to use safe polish but fit the budget!

Where to purchase and how much?
Sophisiticate costs Php300.00/ box of 3 or Php100.00 each polish.
Holiday Collection costs Php450.00/box of 3 or Php150.00 each polish.

Overall, I am very happy with Girl Stuff polishes and I wouldn't mind purchasing more!  Out of the 2 collection, I can totally relate to the Sophisticate set, I am not into wild colored polishes as of the moment!  Motherhood tamed me!  LOL
